We wanted to find out how to check if eggs were raw or cooked. Teacher showed us how. She gave us two eggs (one raw and one cooked) and showed us how to spin them.
We found out that when you spin a raw egg and then gently put your hand on it and then take your hand off the egg, that the egg keeps on spinning. This is because the inside of the egg is not solid, and will keep moving once it has started moving, if it can - rather like a child in a car who has no seat belt on will keep on moving forward if the car comes to a sudden stop.
If you spin a cooked egg, put your hand on it and then remove your hand, the egg will not continue moving, it will stop. This is because the inside of a cooked egg is solid, so it is like a child in a car wearing a seat belt - if the car stops suddenly the child will also stop.
We learned a lot about raw and cooked eggs, and also about how important it is to wear a seat belt at all times when travelling in the car.
